ph 465 final project - k. mora lyrics
[intro]
yeah i know you wanna win, yeah i know you wanna win
i heard we only listen to each other if it’s from within
i guess it’s finally time for us to take a deeper look within
and talk about something too serious for words written with pen
[verse 1]
i heard the left say that the right
just wanna take away your rights
especially if you a women
they don’t understand your plight
i mean how could they?
old white man just wanna grab you by the cookie
drafting laws and dictating how it should be
sh-t goes on too long and so you bust back
and tell ’em we don’t want that, have fun at
that new job that you workin’ for
cause we ‘gon vote you out the door
and while your there remember
keep your laws up off her body bro
[verse 2]
now before we step ahead let’s think about what we’ve just said
i’ma break it down for you if it went over your head
yeah we know some men are s-xist living like h-m- erectus
all they’re thinking ’bout is how to get you laying in their bed
but take a step back, do you really think that
the reason that these sapiens disagree is only rooted in misigyny?
whoops, i mean misogyny probably had a little bit to do with it
it’s true if you a women this an issue that influences you in a way i’ll never have to deal with
but hold up, listen to me real quick
most people just want to live a life where things feel right
where n-body k!lls each other and kids don’t fight
and you can lay out in the sun and enjoy the sight
of a new born baby laughing and smiling bright
see the reason that some people have a different opinion
is usually not for those reasons that we were given
they disagree not cause they want to tell you what to do
they’re just worried about the life they think’s growing inside of you
[interlude 1]
now before you trip and throw a fit over these words i say
just listen to this
[hook]
everybody got problems
everybody got problems
i’m just hoping we can solve ’em, hoping we can solve ’em
man i’m hoping we can solve ’em
everybody got problems
everybody got problems
i’m just hoping we can solve ’em, hoping we can solve ’em
man i hope that we solve ’em
[verse 3]
but we ain’t solvin’ sh-t if we never listen
stay attacking these corrupt politicians
only if they don’t hold our position
cause if they do it seems we change our decision to attack
remember when the dnc wouldn’t let bernie
be the nominee even if that’s what we the people
had wanted man that race was never equal
skipped right over it and went straight to the sequel
instead we talkin’ bout how trump colluded
with some people overseas cause we seen some tweets
that made us believe like prophecy
so when report was released we’re still looking for heat
to try to throw at ’em just so we can beat his party
when the only one that’s proven to tamper was ours
see to me that’s example of hypocrisy
and boxed in screens only seeing what we want to see
no i’m not tryna say that we should believe
the ideologies of our enemies
i’m just sayin’ that we shouldn’t think they’re enemies
otherwise we’ll never get to live in pea- -gun shots-
[interlude 2: -all overlapping-]
[donald trump:] i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation
[hilary clinton:] you could put half of trump’s supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable’s
[trump supporters:] lock her up! lock her up!
[hilary clinton:] my argument is not with his supporters it’s with him
[donald trump:] because there has never been so many lies, so much deception, there has never been anything like it
[hilary clinton :] the racists, s-xists, h-m-phobic, xenophobic
[donald trump:] this was locker room talk. we have a divided nation because people like her
[hilary clinton:] islamophobic, you name it
[donald trump:] and believe me, she has tremendous hate in her heart
[hilary clinton:] and with the hateful and divisive campaign that he has run
[questioner:] would either of you name one positive thing that you respect in one another?
[verse 4]
i’ma need another minute just to finish these thoughts
i’m independent from these labels try to put us in box
whether you left or you right, liberal or conservative
democrat, republican don’t matter both deserted
any notion of the truth when we filter our news
only listen to your side so you got nothing to lose
what you’re missing out in spite of thinking yours is the truth
is the opportunity to go and challenge your views
if you so sure about ’em shouldn’t be so scared to put ’em to the test
go listen to the other side before replies just hold your breath
and think about the things that they just said
like really i’m wondering, when’s the last time you were open to up-
ending your own chosen opinion
rather than just thinking like minion
for the tribe you a part of?
to get to the heart of what i’m tryna say
let me leave you with one final thought
[outro]
humans are tribal we were born tribal because we evolved to be tribal but it doesn’t mean that we have to continue to be that way
you can’t -ssume that someone’s wrong just because they disagree with you just like you can’t -ssume that someone’s right just because they hold other views that you hold
it’s nice to feel like we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves but whenever we erase our autonomy we erase ourselves and we’re all too valuable for that
we’re all too valuable
